He stated this while reacting to Bashir, one of the sons of El-Rufai, who asked Atiku Abubakar to step down for Peter Obi.
Bashir said Obi and a strong northern candidate will set President Tinubu packing in 2027.
During an exclusive chat with Legit.ng over the weekend, Okwuosa said:
“As for an Obi/Elrufai ticket, I consider it a perfect match. Both are men of impeccable character and integrity. They are both guided by principles and run with a mindset of excellence. Also, with a Midas touch.”
Why Obi/El-rufai ticket will unseat Tinubu?
The public administrator said El-Rufai did tremendously well in office as an FCT Minister and later as the governor of Kaduna State.
According to Okwuosa, Elrufai is a strong, brilliant, and formidable force in the north and Nigerian politics, while Peter Obi, on his part, is an embodiment of character, wisdom, and grace.
He said, despite a ‘server glitch’ and several corruptions that marred the 2023 presidential election, Obi still garnered over 6 million votes,
“A joint ticket of Obi with El-rufai would make Obi’s presence in the north more prominent. Don’t forget, it was this same El-rufai and Ganduje (former Kano state governor) who announced Tinubu to the north, giving him prominence.
“Obi with an El-rufai is an intelligent bargain, and if properly pushed forward, would unseat ‘Emilokan’ from presidency, no doubt, because the north seems to be tired of Emilokan, more so, when he didn’t keep to their agreement regarding presidential appointments.”

Peter Obi is very unlikely to get ADC ticket
Recall that a former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, reacted to the emergence of the ADC coalition against President Tinubu.
Omokri said there is no coalition or joining of forces by the opposition leaders against President Tinubu in 2027.
The political commentator explained the reason Peter Obi is very unlikely to clinch the ADC presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 election.
How ADC presidential candidate should be picked
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that human rights activist Aisha Yesufu suggested a style to adopt to determine the ADC presidential candidate.
Yesufu said the people must decide who becomes the coalition candidate of the ADC coalition in the 2027 election.
Nigerians have taken to social media to react to Yesufu’s suggestion on how to pick the ADC coalition presidential candidate.
